Phytochemistry is a broad area, generally termed ‘‘plant chemistry.’’ Investigations in the field of phytochemistry are important for numerous research disciplines, such as plant physiology, plant biochemistry, chemosystematics (which is often referred to as chemotaxonomy), plant biotechnology, and pharmacognosy. Plant physiology focuses on the life processes occurring in plants. Especially important are the investigations on the influence of various external factors, such as ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) radiation, temperature, the nature of soil, the climate, etc., on the composition of active compounds contained in plants | CHROMATOGRAPHIC SCIENCE SERIES VOLUME 99 Thin Layer Chromatography in Phytochemistry Edited by Monika Waksmundzka-Hajnos Joseph Shenna Teresa Kowalska 0CRC Press Taylor Francis Group Thin Layer Chromatography in Phytochemistry CHROMATOGRAPHIC SCIENCE SERIES A Series of Textbooks and Reference Books Editor JACK CAZES 1.
